"An album of fragile, spooky loveiness."
-Entertainment Weekly
"In an era of overheated Nick Drake comparisons, Amidon is eerily close to the real thing."
David Fricke, Rolling Stone
"Amidon doesn't just update the old world to the new, but finds the roots of the new world in the old."
-Pitchfork
"Nothing less than a goose-bump-manufacturing sonic piéce de résistance."
-CMJ New Music Monthly
"Amidon makes mistakes, lots of them..." Grapevine (Reykjavik)
"Letting your retarded friend open a show for you is either a benevolent act of charity, or a shrewd ploy to lower audience expectations; either way, after Sam Amidon’s support set that consisted of tuneless, banjo-accompanied sea shanties, each interrupted by nonsensical monologues and culminating with a break-dancing finale, any performance Jolie Holland had churned out would have been greeted with warm enthusiasm by the audience at Ruby Lounge, Manchester." -David Harfield
“Sky-scrapingly great ... All Is Well is viscerally stunning, comforting, upsetting, entrancing."
-Stylus
